    FTC Jesus photo review

    When I first saw this figure, I really wondered how this would be packaged and what the marketing angle would be given who it was and the traditional target audience for this subject. It was probably the first time (ever) when my curiosity of packaging outranked the actual product. I ordered him with great fascination, and found FTC created an approach that was quite original.

    He came in a singular clamshell that was more reminiscent of what they were doing with their 12 inch series...



    What proceeded to fascinate me was the inner container which mimicked a stain glass window! I found this very inventive and quite striking.



    The figure itself was well crafted in the tradition. I thought they did a good job of capturing the classic image very well from sculpt to robe.



    His shoes are done quite well but are extremely snug. If you wish to remove them, I strongly encourage some heated water to soften the plastic for a stress free removal.



    With all of that said, I have to be completely transparent here and say, I saw an absolutely perfect and effortless custom with a minimum of updates. What can I say? Too much heaven?

    Thanks for the photos. That packaging is clever and works well for a product that I assume they will try to get into Christian bookstores and the like.

      Jesus Christ of Nazareth? When was he in the band?

          I like that they included that. You know... to avoid confusion.

          "...of Nazareth. Oh, that Jesus Christ! I was thinking of someone else."

            This is a great figure.i ordered both versions and an extra white robe one with red sash.to take out.i replaced the body with a new S body because the head is very loose ,the head fits well on the new body.looks like they were inspired by the head of christ painting.which works well here.each version has a different stain glass window and box color .

                I still say he looks like Jared Leto.

                  Not big on Jesus... But this figure is perfect for a Lionel Luther custom

                    They already have Santa. Like the Nostalgia Critic said in his Holiday Clusterf**k song, "Watching Santa Claus and Jesus wrestle."

                        As a born again believer and follower of Jesus Christ I think it's cool that this figure exists. It's a nice retro style figure depicting what most people imagine Jesus looked like in human form. Someone at FTC deserves credit for being bold enough to do this figure in the day and time we live in.

                          it's a wonderful figure I believe as well.this sculpt is a nice head of christ shot .I bought both versions,and put one on an "s" body which fits nice and snug ,the body it comes with has the head to loose.
